Ag Day in Portales, NM



Kathy Stallings (MRNM Corporate Board Member) and I at the Ag Expo

After an exciting day spent in the Orlando airport hoping to make it home, I caught a few hours of sleep and headed off to Portales for the New Mexico Ag Expo. First I met Kathy Stallings and we took the MRNM Trailer to have a Plateau (MRNM sponsor) sign put on. The next day I pursued my latest Fund-raising effort: a Raffle for a Wooden Show Box, a Custom Leather Belt and a Signed Doreman Burns Print. So thanks to the help of Greg Smith, my Coordinator, I set up a booth to sell tickets at. Kayla Hight was my fearless companion throughout the day and helped me out so much! Thank you Kayla! I also had the opportunity to mingle and have lunch with the wonderful New Mexico Dairy Farmers. In the end I signed some autographs, did a radio interview, sold some tickets and then headed over to Miss Ashlee Stallings’ gorgeous house. Thank you so much Ashlee for your generous hospitality!!!
